Beef and Bean Chili
My family loves football.
And fall is for football and parties with delicious food.And there is nothing more delicious, comforting and filling on a cold fall day, than a warm bowl of chili!
My Aunt Hilda always made a delicious chili for game days. Because many in our family (including my Uncle Hassan and my mom) are vegetarian, she would make a vegetarian chili.
I prefer to have some meat, and so my beef and bean chili was born!
Spices are an important component of this dish. I used a blend of Hungarian Paprika, chili powder, Cayenne Pepper, ground cumin, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and kosher salt!
Feel free to add/subtract any of the spices! Just be sure to taste often and decide what your palate likes best 🙂
I also want to talk about this awesome tomato paste in a tube! If you follow me on SnapChat (AmandasPlate), you know how much I love this stuff! Its so convenient!
